Thanks for all the info. I belong to a small group (dues are $10 a month or $3 per session). We meet in a converted farm house with fabric room, cutting table, sewing machines, and we have 3 days each week available to us to come and work. The dues are used for heat/cool, purchasing supplies and some fabric (which we can purchase for $3 a yard). The owner/instructor kinda makes the rules with some input from us.
